Zijn hier gangbare theorieen over?
Katholieken zeggen dat Maria ook na Jezus' geboorte nog maagd was. Zelfs nu is ze het nog (semper virgine). Maria was alleen maar het 'kanaal' waardoor God op aarde kwam. Het lijkt me dat daar dan geen eicel aan te pas komt. Maar ik weet niet of daar concrete theorieën over zijn.
Dit komt bij Rudolf Steiner vandaan:
"In order to provide an untainted soul-substance for the Christ, it was
necessary for the conception to happen in an unorthodox way. Joseph and
Maria were so spiritually advanced that they were capable of an Oriental
technique which provides for sexual intercourse without passion or
hedonistic pleasure. On the contrary, it is experienced as a sacrifice. In
this way, the purest body and soul-substance was provided for the birth of
Jesus in Bethlehem. In this manner, the Saviour was born 'without sin.'" (

"Thus, neither Christ's spirit nor his body must have resulted from the DNA of Mary's egg or from any man's sperm. Both would have contained inherited genetic defects and the sin nature. As Scripture tells us, Jesus was truly the Second Adam. The first Adam was a special creation of God (not related to any human being), and so was the second Adam (Romans 5:12-19). Jesus was just as fully human as the first Adam. And just like the first Adam, he had no sin nature, no inherited sin, no sinful flesh, which has always been passed from one generation to the next since Adam and Eve's sin. He was absolutely pure and without sin--from the day he was born, till the day he died. He had to be--he was the Lamb of God, without blemish or spot, sacrificed for sins (John 1:29)."
